"The TVS motor experience was unlike anything other than surprise and excitement! The mentors were very helpful in guiding us to the right resources. I had the pleasure to learn about TVS motor company's design team, marketing team and even visit suppliers' office. TVS Motor program is invaluable to learn about fast-developing India business environment, with so many diverse people and changing rules. I would strongly recommend this internship to others!"

I recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to evolve personally and gain a once in a lifetime experience that will only help them in their future endeavors!"

"My experience at TVS was the highlight of my Krannert Life! I learned strategic planning as well as operational execution. I enjoyed every moment, from learning about the supply chain system at the two-wheeler company, to interacting with the entire team of TVS and fellow students. It was an amazing opportunity to apply my knowledge from Krannert and solve real world challenges. I appreciate the efforts by GSCMI to make this happen!"

Students: Dennis Hernadez & Mason Preusser

Project Objective: Design and implement effective stocking and procurement strategy for accessories billed and dispatched along with 2 wheelers in domestic business.

"Being a large and complex manufacturing facility, TVS is a great opportunity for supply chain/operations aficionados. At TVS, class-learned operations concepts come to life. The support received by the TVS staff was such that we were allowed to walk the facilities freely, gathering information needed to analyze problems and provide recommendations that the company would implement. Lastly, Bangalore is a vibrant city, with lots of fun offerings."

Background: Study the impact of Education and Training initiatives and suggest areas of improvement.

"My experience in India was amazing. I had the opportunity to teach students from an age range of 3-15 years old, work in the HR & Education and Training department, and travel all over India! My favorite part of the 3 week internship/trip was visiting was the Taj Mahal, and learning all about the history of India. Everyone you interacted with was very genuine, and wanted to feel welcomed to their country."
